Would love to do ARH, but convincing Steve to discount them enough to make it possible to buy with donations would be a rough one.

The sound change going to lts is worth it alone. It's incredible if your into that thing. Couple that with the power increase makes it a no brainer for me. Going further the weight reduction from the cast manifolds makes it an all around must have upgrade. They look great as well. Get the damn lts.
Don't let money influence you. The kit cost about 6k add install and tune, clutch and your looking 10kish. Great power added for sure but offset the weight penalty of the kit. All things considered the price of lts isn't bad.

X 100I have 2in LTs, no cats, Si Trim, NPP. Sounds amazing at WOT.

If I was buying again I would no doubt buy ARH.

off topic
are you able to run a mass air tune with the stock 05 mass air and DPE 2.5 map sensor without having to redo the whole tune?tuner didn't seem to want to use my 2.5 map sensor that I bought specifically to run Dash Logic.was the tuner getting lazy or did he have a legitimate reason for not wanting to do this?he also I believe gave me a song and dance about not being able to run my Racetronix harness because it was back feeding the pump.not sure if he meant bap or fuel pump.tia

To answer your question--really what you're asking are a few separate things. I'm assuming the tune is MAF only right now. Without seeing it that is just a guess.
To the "are you able to run a mass air tune with the stock 05 MAF" part. The short answer is yes. The long answer is it is more limited than the newer style MAF's (somewhere in the 600rwhp range), but there's no reason it won't work just fine up until then (assuming it doesn't crack, which has been known to happen..)
To the "DPE 2.5 map sensor without having to redo the whole tune" part. All he has to do to install the new MAP is change two values and plug it in. It's literally less than 2 minutes to do it all. It would be the proper way to do it anyways, even in MAF only, so that injector flow rate is properly calculated.
And to the "was the tuner getting lazy or did he have a legitimate reason for not wanting to do this" part.. not much doubt on this one, he was either being lazy or ignorant. Or both.
Hopefully that helps.

The number of stupid things I hear about tuners saying boggles my mind. I need to open a tuning business. Anyways, I digress...

Tuning industry is AMAZING.
Local car tune had the octane maps all hacked with -10 to -15 timing across the board, knock sensors turned off, and so many other bad things it was scary. The fact that people pay $500+ for these pure crap tunes is mind boggling.

$500 a pop, give me one car a day and I'll be fine. It's a wonder more don't go boom with the crap all these guys with an interface and laptop that call themselves tuners put out.
Though I guess we're starting to see the real results on the gen 5 stuff. DI isn't quite so easy if you don't know what you're doing.

Really interested to see you're results. I keep debating switching from LS7 manifolds to LTs. if you're results are good, I'll switch over when the car goes in for another pulley change end of next month.

Curious here too.. doubt I'll ever spend what ARH wants for those but maybe I'd do one of the cheaper brands.
